    They're big during San Gennaro. But I'll never turn down a good SPO.

    The Luther Burger: A Doughnut Bacon Cheeseburger

    I felt the same way just reading about this burger. It's a bacon cheeseburger with Krispy Kreme donuts as the bun.

    I’ve seen something like that on menus at a couple places, but not specifically with Krispy Kreme donuts. Wanted to try it but was hard to imagine eating the entire thing.

    I feel like some meals you need the approval of a cardiologist before you can eat them

    I used to work in a movie theater, and the thing there was popcorn and soft drinks. They took inventory by the cup for drinks and the box or bucket for popcorn, so you were allowed to eat as much popcorn and drink as much coke as you wanted, as long as you brought your own paper bag and cup. I wasn't ever a huge fan of movie popcorn, but I ate more of it than I should have for certain.

    That's a waste of a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

    Their only catch is, you must eat them within, like, 45 minutes or so

    Did you haze the new guy/gal by making them clean the nacho cheese machine at the end of the night? That's what we did.
    :D

    I know you taught at CHS for a bit. My junior and part of my senior year, I worked at that theater behind the Chili's on Memorial.

    I honestly don't recall that we even had a nacho machine. I did work concessions as well as cleaning auditoriums after movies, loading film, everybody did everything. That was actually a fun job.

    It's been so long since I lived there that I don't remember anything about it except that there was a Steak 'n Shake on Memorial that was better than most.

    Yesterday, I ate at a fish and chips place in Detroit proper that has existed since 1950 and has the kind of decor that screams 1960s America. I was half expecting my grandmother to join me.

    Fish and chips were amazing though. Especially after sitting at a soccer game in 40 degree temps with wind gusts.

    ...they're carnivores, Pizza.

    You already know they can grab a fish out of the lake on the fly. What the Wild Kingdom guys don't show is how they immediately head off to someplace in Alabama to get the fish breaded and fried properly

    That's an amazing idea, for real. Why spinach? Why not collard greens or turnip greens? Why not carrots? Celery? Why didn't he eat the spinach raw (like in a salad or on pasta), instead of canned?

    I don't think it was super straightforward to get fresh spinach in many parts of the country at many times of year in the 1930s or whenever Popeye cartoons were made, but canned spinach would have been available year-round and could be transported anywhere.

    I don't know the answers for the rest of your questions. As far as I know, there was no consortium of spinach growers which paid the cartoonist for product placement, which would be the answer today, but not back in the day.

    Because he was a sailor man, and acquired the taste at sea when there were no fresh veggies available.
